Before I had Olive I devoted a ton of time to decorating and styling our home. We bought and remodeled it while I was pregnant, so after I had her I always felt like it was never quite “done”. I’m constantly finding new little decor pieces and rearranging furniture to give it a different vibe.

Now that I had a one-year-old running around that time I once spent decorating is now spent just making sure the house isn’t in shambles in case we have company drop by. Baby proofing definitely isn’t the most STYLISH thing you can do to your house, but with our ball of fire it is completely necessary. I have tried to keep my house true to my style throughout the baby process and keep toys and things to a minimum in the big living spaces. Olive has a playroom upstairs and shares my downstairs office as a sort of “classroom” for her learning toys and art supplies.

As she is getting older I feel like I can get back to finishing off the decorating, and make our home feel complete. I was going for a very Pottery Barn/Ballard Design look in the beginning, and now am leaning towards bringing in some of the eclectic vibe from Anthropologie. If I could have an all white and gold house, believe me…I would. Until that day comes I’ll settle for creams, whites, and some pops of bright colors and gold mixed in.

Here are a few shots of our downstairs area. I have always wanted a Robins Egg Blue kitchen, and I still love it, but I’m leaning towards all white and cream walls. Decisions…decisions!

I love the way the light comes in the window first thing in the morning.

In a perfect world I would have a mix of Monika Hibbs, Cassidy June, and Stephanie Sterjovski…here are some gorgeous images of these ladies homes.
